This year marked the Arboriculture Association’s 48th National Amenity Arboriculture Conference. It focused on ‘Applied Arboriculture: Healthy Trees, Healthy People’, analysing the correlation between green space and the physical, mental and social well being of humans. The conference pushed for political action to recognise the positive impact that trees have on health and the prevention of disease.

Glendale’s volunteer conservation programme, Nature’s Gym, provides residents in Richmond with the perfect opportunity to embrace the season and look after their local parks and nature reserves this autumn.
